Representation of Women in Government

Representation of women in government refers to the presence and participation of women in political decision-making roles, such as elected officials and policymakers. It measures how well women are included in leadership positions compared to men, reflecting gender equality in governance. Greater representation ensures diverse perspectives, promotes fairness, and influences policies that address gender-specific issues. While progress has been made globally, women remain underrepresented in many governments, highlighting ongoing efforts to achieve balanced and inclusive political participation.
